  Bad for them. Fewer ai buttons shoved to my face, higher availability of GPUs, those ain’t bad for me.

  Imagine launching weather satellites and there is suddenly a whole new continental society living peacefully by intentionally avoiding rest of the world.

  (I know this is absurd at several levels)

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨do you remember a time when societies were so polarized and shifted so much to the right like today? How long did it last?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  It wasn’t only in Germany. It first started in Italy as Fascism, and became popular all over the place. As with many Italian inventions, Germans “improved” it and made Nazizm. But they also inspired a lot of similar racist movements, especially around Europe. Captain America was published in 1938 specifically because some comic artists worried Hitler was becoming too popular in USA.

  When a new game costs 60 bucks, just paying for a game pass and have access to a random library seems appealing. It’s also a nice way to try and discover games I guess. I never used it.

  Hell yeah

  I think watching and developing parasocial relationships with streamers, male or female, is pretty fuckin weird anyway.

  It is weird in an understanble way. Homo sapiens is a pack animal. For most of our 300k years of history, we survived by forming tribes and being connected to each other. This is why rejection sucks at any context, be it romanic or employment or friendship.

  Today, we are more alone and isolated than any time in history. It’s understandable some lonely people are desperate enough to hang onto some simulacrum of connection.

  Do you know what a greentext is?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Anon asks out a friend⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I mean it’s greentext. That part is always implied.

  That’s me, give me those dark cold days I can snuggle warm blankies when I get home. Fun fact: you can always dress more when you are cold but there is a physical limit to dressing less when you’re too warm.

  Fair, my own needs on spreadsheets were are formulas and enumerations, I can’t comment on more advanced uses.

  I obviously don’t know her exact needs but so much can be achieved by web versions of Office and Outlook that I didn’t have issues working with MS-using clients.

  So does Ubuntu, but there is a catch. Secure boot relies on signature checking, so you can manually add the signature of your OS manually to the UEFI db, but can’t do that on locked UEFI. Major Linux providers went another route, they paid Microsoft to sign a shim binary, which in turn can verify and boot the matching Linux kernels. Microsoft refusing to sign shims would be a rather crippling move, but they would get a massive backlash from that.
